Let's divide 278094 by 59
We want to figure out the number of times 278094 can be divided by 59.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 59, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 59

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 59 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 59

Advancing to step 3:
59 can be fit into 278 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 236 from 278 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 420 / 59

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 59 fits into 420 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 413 from 420 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 59

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 79 by 59, we get 1 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 471.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 59 from 79.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 59

Going ahead to step 6:
59 can be fit into 204 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4713.0
Deduct 177 from 204 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 7:
270 divided by 59 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4713.4
Deduct 236 from 270 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 340 by 59, we get 5 and a remainder of 45.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4713.45
Subtract 295 from 340 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 59 fits into 450 7 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4713.457
Subtract 413 from 450 to get 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
59 goes into 370 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4713.4576
If we take 354 away from 370, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 160 by 59, we get 2 with a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4713.45762
If we take 118 away from 160, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
420 divided by 59 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4713.457627
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 413 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 59 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4713.4576271
Deduct 59 from 70 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
110 divided by 59 is 1 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4713.45762711
If we take 59 away from 110, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4713.45762711 and a remainder of 5.1e-08.
